Concerning  the  Department  of  Engineering  of  the  State  of  California. 

The  Department  of  Engineering  was  created  by  an  act  of  the  Legislature  of  the  State  of  California, 
approved  on  March  11,  1907. 

Section  1  of  the  contract  law  of  the  State  Department  of  Engineering,  approved  June  8,  1915,  pro- 
vides that  "Whenever  provision  is  made  by  law  for  the  erection,  construction,  alteration,  repair  or 
improvement  of  any  State  structure,  building,  road,  or  other  State  improvement  of  any  kind,  except- 
ing improvements  on  the  property  of  the  State  on  the  waterfront  of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Fran- 
cisco under  the  jurisdiction  of  the  Board  of  State  Harbor  Commissioners,  the  total  cost  of  which  will 
exceed  the  sum  of  $1,000.00,  the  same  shall  be  under  the  sole  charge  and  direct  control  of  the  Depart- 
ment of  Engineering." 

Section  11  of  the  Department  of  Engineering  law,  approved  May  19,  1915,  is  in  part  as  follows: 
"All  architectural  work  of  the  Department  shall  be  under  the  charge  of  the  State  Architect.  When, 
however,  it  shall  be  deemed  to  be  for  the  best  interests  of  the  State,  the  Board  of  Control,  with  the 
approval  of  the  Governor,  may  require  and  arrange  for  public  competition,  and  in  all  such  Competi- 
tions the  Board  of  Control  with  the  approval  of  the  Governor  and  with  the  advice  of  the  State  Archi- 
tect, may  prescribe  the  schedule  of  prizes,  the  total  of  which,  exclusive  of  the  fee  of  the  winner,  shall 
not  exceed  one  per  centum  of  the  amount  appropriated  for  any  building.  The  fee  of  the  successful 
Architect  shall  not  exceed  six  per  centum  of  the  cost  of  said  building." 

The  Legislature  of  1913  passed  an  act  designated  as  Chapter  No.  235,  Statutes  of  1913  and  to  be 
found  on  Pages  389,  390,  391,  392,  393  and  394  thereof,  which  act  was  approved  by  the  Governor  on 
June  5,  1913,  and  which  provided  for  the  issuance  and  sale  of  State  bonds  to  create  a  fund  for  the 
construction,  equipment  and  furnishing  of  State  Buildings  in  the  City  of  Sacramento,  to  be  used  by 
various  officers,  boards  and  commissions  of  the  State,  and  which  act  provided  for  its  submission  to  a 
vote  of  the  people.  This  act  of  the  Legislature  was  ratified  by  the  people  at  the  general  election  held 
in  the  month  of  November,  A.  D.  1914.  Section  5  of  this  act  is  as  follows:  "Section  5.  Any  and  all 
moneys  derived  from  the  sale  of  the  bonds  provided  for  in  this  act  are  hereby  appropriated  and  shall 
be  used  exclusively  for  the  following  purpose,  to  wit :  The  constructing  and  equipping  of  State  Buildings 
in  the  City  of  Sacramento,  State  of  California,  for  the  various  officers,  boards  and  commissions  of  the 
State,  at  a  cost  not  to  exceed  the  total  sum  of  three  million  dollars,  such  portion  of  said  sum  of  three  mil- 
lion dollars  to  be  used  for  furnishing  and  equipping  of  said  State  Buildings  as  may  be  determined 
by  a  board  consisting  of  the  Governor,  the  presiding  justice  of  the  Supreme  Court,  and  the  State 
Librarian,  which  board  for  such  purpose  is  hereby  created;  provided,  however,  that  no  moneys  pro- 
vided for  by  this  act  shall  be  used  for  such  purpose  until  a  site  suitable  for  such  purpose,  and  accept- 
able to  the  State  Board  last  above  created,  shall  be  donated  or  given  to  the  State,  the  title  thereto  to 
be  free  and  clear  of  all  liens  and  encumbrances;  the  number  of  buildings  and  their  location  on  the 
lands  to  be  donated  shall  be  determined  by  said  board  in  this  subdivision  of  this  section  mentioned; 
the  plans  and  specifications  for  said  buildings,  and  each  of  the  same,  shall  be  prepared  under  the 
direction  and  control  of  said  board  in  this  subdivision  of  this  section  provided  for." 

The  full  text  of  the  Department  of  Engineering  law  and  of  the  contract  law  of  the  State  Depart- 
ment of  Engineering,  as  amended,  also  the  full  text  of  the  act  of  the  Legislature  of  1913,  above 


referred  £pj  ;aifK>';tiw  Atchite'etS''' license  law,  are  printed  immediately  following  this  Program  and  form 
an  essential  part  hereof. 

In  accordance  with  Section  5  of  the  act  of  the  Legislature  of  1913  above  quoted,  the  Sacramento 
State  Buildings  Commission  has  accepted  a  site  for  the  buildings,  consisting  of  the  two  blocks  of  land 
situated  between  Ninth  and  Tenth,  L  and  N  Streets,  which  was  donated  to  the  State  by  the  City  of 
Sacramento  and  has  determined  that  there  shall  be  two  buildings  erected  upon  said  site,  one  to  be 
the  Library  and  Courts  Building  and  the  other  the  Office  Building. 

The  Board  of  Control,  with  the  approval  of  the  Governor,  by  virtue  of  the  power  vested  in  it  by 
Section  11  of  the  Department  of  Engineering  law,  has  instituted  this  Competition. 

The  office  of  the  Board  of  Control  is  in  the  State  Capitol  at  Sacramento,  California. 

As  provided  by  Section  11  of  the  Department  of  Engineering  law,  the  State  Architect  is  architect- 
ural advisor  to  advise  the  Board  of  Control  in  the  preparation  of  this  Program  and  in  the  conduct 
of  this  Competition. 

The  office  of  the  State  Architect  is  in  the  Forum  Building,  Sacramento,  California. 


Concerning  the  Nature  of  the  Competition. 

[For  the  sake  of  convenience  and  clearness,  all  paragraphs  that  are  mandatory  in  their  nature  are  printed  in  black- 
face type.  Failure  to  comply  with  all  mandatory  requirements  will  preclude  any  award  in  favor  of  the  designer  so  fail- 
ing. In  the  use  of  the  words  "Architect"  and  "Competitor,"  the  singular  number  shall  also  include  a  firm  of  Architects 
or  two  or  more  Architects  associated  together  for  the  purpose  of  this  Competition.] 

One.  In  conducting  this  Competition,  the  State  desires  to  put  before  the  architectural  profession 
a  Program  of  Conditions  that  will  invite  the  participation  of  the  ablest  members  of  the  profession.  At 
the  same  time  it  is  deemed  necessary  to  safeguard  the  Competition  with  certain  restrictions,  to  the 
end  that  no  appointment  as  Architect  of  the  Sacramento  State  Buildings  will  be  made  of  any  Compet- 
itor until  he  has  demonstrated  to  the  entire  satisfaction  of  the  Jury,  composed  as  described  in  Sections 
34  and  35  hereof,  his  artistic  talent,  integrity  and  administrative  ability  to  execute  his  designs  should 
he  be  selected.  To  effect  this  purpose,  the  Competition  is  held  in  two  stages,  the  first  stage  being  for  the 
purpose  of  eliminating  all  but  eight  Architects  who  will  be  selected  by  the  Jury  to  be  admitted  to  the 
second  stage. 

Two.  It  is  the  desire  of  the  Sacramento  State  Buildings  Commission  to  secure  for  the  State  of  Cali- 
fornia the  best  buildings  that  can  be  obtained  within  the  appropriation,  considered  from  the  standpoint 
of  adaptability,  durability  and  artistic  qualities;  the  Board  of  Control,  therefore,  invites  all  Architects, 
citizens  of  the  United  States,  who  have  had  the  necessary  experience,  to  participate  in  this  competition, 
provided,  in  the  case  of  California  Architects,  that  they  are  certificated  to  practice  architecture  in  the 
State  of  California,  or,  in  the  case  of  Architects  not  of  California,  that  they  are  entitled  to  a  certificate 
to  practice  in  California.  Information  regarding  the  conditions  to  be  met  in  order  to  be  entitled  to  this 
certificate  may  be  obtained  from  the  California  State  Board  of  Architecture,  Phelan  Building,  San  Fran- 
cisco, California. 


Concerning  the  State  Capitol  and  Its  Relation  to  the  Two  New  Buildings. 

Three.  The  two  new  buildings  are  to  form  a  portion  of  a  group  of  three  monumental  buildings,  which 
group  will  be  dominated  by  the  present  Capitol,  which  was  constructed  during  the  years  from  1860  to 
1874.  The  site  of  the  Capitol  lies  higher  than  that  of  the  two  new  buildings,  the  various  levels  being 
indicated  on  the  plot  plan  which  accompanies  this  Program.  The  first  story  of  the  Capitol  is  faced  on 
the  exterior  with  granite  and  the  remaining  stories  are  of  brick  with  cement  plaster  finish  painted. 

Four.  One  of  the  two  new  buildings  will  house  the  State  Library,  the  Supreme  Court  and  the  District 
Court  of  Appeal.  The  other  new  building  will  house  State  Offices  and  Departments.  The  determina- 
tion as  to  the  placing  of  the  two  new  buildings  on  the  site,  also  the  decision  as  to  which  of  the  two  blocks 
shall  be  made  the  site  for  the  Library  and  Courts  Building,  are  to  be  reached  by  the  Competitors  as  they 
may  see  fit. 

Five.  A  plot  plan  showing  a  portion  of  the  Capitol  Park  and  the  site  of  the  two  new  buildings,  also 
three  photographs  of  the  Capitol,  also  two  sectional  drawings  through  the  west  front  and  dome  of  the 
Capitol,  all  of  which  accompany  this  Program,  form  an  essential  part  hereof. 

Six.  Competitors  who  can  conveniently  do  so,  should  personally  view  the  Capitol  and  the  site  of  the 
two  new  buildings.  M  Street  between  Ninth  and  Tenth  Streets  has  been  vacated  by  the  City  of  Sacra- 
mento and,  therefore,  is  a  part  of  the  site  of  the  buildings ;  access  to  the  Capitol  for  vehicles  direct  from 
M  Street  is,  however,  desirable.  The  street  cars  on  Tenth  Street  are  not  to  be  disturbed. 


Concerning  the  General  Conditions  of  the  Competition. 

Seven.  If  an  association  with  another  Architect  or  firm  of  Architects  is  contemplated,  such  associa- 
tion must  be  formed  before  plans  are  submitted  and  must  continue  until  the  completion  of  the  buildings 
should  the  Competitor  become  the  winner  of  first  place  in  this  Competition, 

Eight.  Should  any  design  submitted  contain  an  original  feature  not  contained  in  the  drawings  of 
any  other  Competitor,  such  original  feature  will  not  be  adopted,  or  made  use  of  in  any  way,  except  with 
the  author's  full  consent. 

Nine.  Should  any  inquiries  for  further  information  concerning  the  conditions  of  the  Program  be 
found  necessary  by  any  Competitor,  such  inquiries  in  every  case  must  be  made  by  letter  sent  through 
the  mails  to  the  State  Architect,  Forum  Building,  Sacramento,  California,  and  in  no  other  way.  These 
inquiries  shall  be  anonymous.  All  such  inquiries  with  their  answers  will  be  copied  and  simultaneously 
sent  to  all  competitors  by  the  State  Architect.  With  reference  to  the  first  stage,  no  inquiry  bearing  a 
postmark  later  than  May  1,  1918,  will  be  answered;  with  reference  to  the  second  stage,  no  inquiry 
bearing  a  postmark  later  than  August  15,  1918,  will  be  answered.  No  information  will  be  given  in  any 
other  manner  by  the  Board  of  Control  or  any  member  thereof,  or  by  the  Secretary,  or  by  any  member  of 
the  Jury  or  by  the  State  Architect,  or  by  any  of  his  confidential  assistants. 

Ten.  Any  Competitor  who  shall  seek  in  any  way,  directly  or  indirectly  to  influence  in  his  favor  any 
of  those  in  control  of  this  Competition,  shall  forfeit  all  privileges  and  rights  under  this  Program. 

Eleven.  The  buildings  shall  be  of  skeleton  steel  frame  construction,  fire-resisting,  according  to  the 
very  best  practice.  All  material  shall  be  of  the  very  best  quality ;  preference  shall  be  given  to  California 
material  and  also  to  California  labor  where  same  of  suitable  character  can  be  obtained  at  reasonable 
market  prices.  The  material  to  be  used  for  facing  the  exteriors  shall  be  either  marble,  granite  or  other 
stone. 


Twelve.  For  the  purposes  of  this  competition,  fifty  cents  per  cubic  foot  has  been  determined  upon  to 
cover  the  cost  of  the  construction  for  the  Office  Building  and  for  the  book  and  newspaper  stacks  in  the 
State  Library,  including  the  stacks  themselves  and  the  building  housing  them ;  and  forty-five  cents  per 
cubic  foot  for  the  Library  and  Courts  building  exclusive  of  the  book  and  newspaper  stacks  and  their 
housing. 

Thirteen.  For  the  purposes  of  this  competition,  the  Library  and  Courts  Building  shall  not  exceed  in 
cubical  contents,  2,400,000  cubic  feet,  exclusive  of  the  State  Library  book  and  newspaper  stacks,  the 
cubical  contents  of  which  must  not  exceed  400,000  cubic  feet  additional;  the  Office  Building  shall  not 
exceed  in  cubical  contents  2,600,000  cubic  feet.  The  cubage  shall  be  computed  as  carefully  as  possible, 
showing  the  actual  volume  of  the  buildings  calculated  from  levels  4  feet  below  sidewalk  grades  at  centers 
of  principal  facades,  to  the  mid-height  of  the  roofs,  if  sloping,  and  to  the  highest  points  of  the  roofs,  if 
flat,  and  contained  within  the  outside  surfaces  of  the  walls.  Pilasters,  cornices,  balconies  and  other  sim- 
ilar projections  shall  not  be  included.  Porticos  with  engaged  columns  and  similar  projections  shall  be 
taken  as  solids  and  figured  to  the  outer  face  of  the  column.  When  columns  are  free  standing,  one-half 
of  the  volume  of  the  porticos  shall  be  taken.  There  shall  also  be  included  in  the  cubage,  the  actual  vol- 
ume of  all  dormers,  vaults  and  other  features  adding  to  the  bulk  of  the  buildings,  also  the  actual  volume 
of  exterior  steps  above  grade.  Light  wells  of  an  area  of  less  than  400  square  feet  shall  not  be  deducted. 

Fourteen.  In  calculating  cubage,  account  shall  be  taken  of  the  variation  in  the  exterior  wall  surface, 
as  for  example,  the  projection  of  a  basement  story  beyond  the  general  line  of  the  building. 

Fifteen.  Any  excess  of  cubical  contents  for  the  Library  and  Courts  Building,  above  2,400,000  cubic 
feet,  exclusive  of  the  State  Library  book  and  newspaper  stacks,  and  above  400,000  cubic  feet  additional 
for  the  State  Library  book  and  newspaper  stacks,  and  for  the  Office  Building,  above  2,600,000  cubic  feet, 
calculated  as  above  stated,  will  place  the  author  of  the  design  out  of  the  competition. 

Sixteen.  The  heating  plant  for  the  entire  group  of  three  buildings  will  be  installed  in  the  basement 
of  the  Office  Building. 

Seventeen.  The  relations  of  the  buildings  to  the  boundary  lines  of  the  site  are  not  to  be  shown, 
except  on  the  plot  plan.

can Institute  of  Architects  will  nominate  five  practicing  Architects  who  are  not  Competitors  in  this 
Competition  and  whose  principal  offices  are  situated  east  of  the  Mississippi  River.  Upon  receipt  of 
request  so  to  do  from  the  Board  of  Control,  the  entire  membership  of  the  San  Francisco  Chapter  of  the 
American  Institute  of  Architects  will,  by  such  method  of  letter  balloting  as  the  Board  of  Directors  of 
the  Chapter  may  select,  nominate  two  practicing  Architects  who  are  not  Competitors  in  this  Competi- 
tion and  who  are  members  of  the  San  Francisco  Chapter.  Upon  receipt  of  request  so  to  do  from  the 
Board  of  Control,  the  entire  membership  of  the  Southern  California  Chapter  of  the  American  Institute

select,  nominate  two  practicing  Architects  who  are  not  Competitors  in  this  Competition  and  who  are  mem- 
bers of  the  Southern  California  Chapter.  The  names  of  the  nine  Architects  so  nominated  will  be  trans- 
mitted to  the  Board  of  Control,  and  from  these  nine  names  three  will  be  selected  by  the  Board  of  Control 
to  be  members  of  the  Jury  of  seven.  Of  the  three  Architects  so  selected  by  the  Board  of  Control,  two 
shall  be  from  east  of  the  Mississippi  River;  and  one  shall  be  from  the  membership  of  the  San  Francisco 
and  Southern  California  Chapters  of  the  American  Institute  of  Architects.  Should  a  vacancy  occur

safe  keeping,  of  the  package  marked  "Credentials"  with  the  seal  unbroken,  also  of  the  envelope  with 
the  seal  unbroken.  The  same  course  will  be  followed  with  all  the  original  packages  received,  a  dif- 
ferent number  being  used  in  connection  with  each  one. 

Thirty-seven.  The  State  Architect  will  assist  the  Jury  and  will  participate  in  its  deliberations,  but 
he  shall  have  no  vote.

Selection  of  Competitors  for  the  Second  Stage. 

Thirty-nine.  The  Jury  will  select,  from  the  drawings  submitted,  not  more  than  eight  sets  which 
they  deem  to  be  the  best. 

Forty.  The  Secretary  of  the  Board  of  Control  will  then  open  the  sealed  envelopes  whose  numbers 
correspond  with  those  on  the  selected  eight  sets  of  drawings,  and  read  the  names  to  the  Jury ;  if  the  Jury 
desires  to  see  any  credentials,  he  will  also  open  the  corresponding  package  or  packages  marked  ' '  Cre- 
dentials," and  will  exhibit  the  credentials  themselves,  if  any,  to  the  Jury,  without  numbers,  but  will 
himself  keep  a  separate  list  for  his  own  information,  of  the  names  of  the  Competitors  whose  drawings 
have  been  selected  and  the  corresponding  numbers  of  the  packages  and  envelopes. --Should  the  Jury, 
upon  review  of  the  credentials,  or  on  account  of  the  absence  of  the  affidavit,  eliminate  any  of  the  Com- 
petitors whose  drawings  have  been  selected,  or  should  the  Secretary  of  the  Board  of  Control  find  that 
one  or  more  of  the  Competitors  or  any  one  of  two  or  more  associated  Competitors  whose  drawings 
are  selected,  and  whose  principal  places  of  business  are  in  California,  are  not  certificated  to  practice 
architecture  in  the  State  of  California,  then  and  in  that  case,  the  Jury  shall  make  further  selection  or

stage,  all  the  material  will  be  returned  to  Competitors  by  the  Secretary  of  the  Board  of  Control,  the 
Board  of  Control  assuming  no  responsibility  in  case  of  drawings  lost  or  damaged  in  transit  or  otherwise.

not  later  than  12  o'clock  M.  on  September  15,  1918.  Each  Competitor  shall  deposit  his  package  with  the 
express  company  as  a  single  consignment. 

As  a  means  of  providing  against  the  possibility  of  elimination  from  the  Competition  of  a  package 
coming  from  a  point  outside  of  California,  the  delivery  of  which  package  has  been  delayed  not  more  than 
four  days  beyond  the  above-mentioned  date,  on  account  of  delay  in  transportation  due  to  stress  of 
weather  or  other  cause,  but  without  fault  on  the  part  of  the  Competitor,  the  Jury  will  give  consideration 
to  the  acceptance  of  such  delayed  package,  and  after  taking  into  account  the  date  mark  of  the  express 
company,  at  point  of  shipment,  may,  in  its  discretion,  determine  to  admit  such  delayed  package  to  the 
Competition. 

Sixty-three.  The  Jury  in  the  second  stage  of  the  Competition  shall  be  the  same  as  in  the  first  stage, 
being  constituted  as  described  in  and  required  by  Sections  Thirty-four  and  Thirty-five  hereof. 

Sixty-four.  Within  the  week  next  following  the  expiration  of  four  days  from  the  date  fixed  for  the 
receipt  of  the  drawings  in  the  second  stage,  the  Jury,  the  State  Architect  and  the  Secretary  of  the  Board 
of  Control  will  meet  and,  provided  there  are  present  at  least  a  majority  of  the  Jury,  will  open  one  of 
the  original  packages  received.  The  number  "one"  will  be  placed  on  each  sheet  of  drawings  and  on 
the  typewritten  statement  and  on  the  sealed  envelope.  The  Secretary  of  the  Board  of  Control  will  then 
take  charge,  for  safe  keeping,  of  the  envelope  with  the  seal  unbroken.  The  same  course  will  be  fol- 
lowed with  all  the  packages,  a  different  number  being  used  in  connection  with  each  one. 

Sixty-five.  Immediately  following  the  procedure  described  in  Section  Sixty-four,  the  Jury  will  pro- 
ceed to  select  drawings  which  shall  conform  in  all  respects  to  the  conditions  and  requirements  of  this 
Program ;  any  drawings  not  so  conforming  will  be  placed  out  of  competition.  The  State  Architect  will 
assist  the  Jury  and  will  participate  in  its  deliberations,  but  he  shall  have  no  vote. 

Sixty-six.  The  Jury  will  select  from  all  the  drawings  conforming  in  all  respects  to  the  conditions 
and  requirements  of  this  Program,  the  set  of  drawings  that,  in  their  judgment,  is  best.  No  verdict  of 
the  Jury  can  be  had  except  by  a  majority  vote  of  those  present. 

Sixty-seven.  After  the  Jury  has  made  its  selection,  as  provided  in  Section  Sixty-six,  it  will  call 
upon  the  Secretary  of  the  Board  of  Control  to  deliver  to  it  the  sealed  envelope  which  bears  the  number 
corresponding  to  the  number  on  the  designs  and  plans  as  selected  and  will  open  the  same ;  from  the 
information  obtained  therefrom,  the  Jury  will  recommend  the  author  of  such  designs  and  plans  as  the 
winner  of  the  Competition. 

Sixty-eight.  Such  recommendation  of  award  will  be  thereafter  transmitted  to  the  State  Board  of 
Control  for  final  approval. 

Sixty-nine.  The  author  of  the  designs  so  selected  by  the  Jury  and  approved  by  the  State  Board 
of  Control  will  be  appointed  Architect  of  the  Library  and  Courts  Building  and  of  the  Office  Building, 
on  the  terms  hereinafter  provided. 


Seventy.  No  Competitor  shall  have  any  claim  on  the  Board  of  Control  or  on  the  State  other  than 
those  already  enumerated,  and  no  claims  shall  be  made  by  any  Competitor  for  any  fee,  percentage,  or 
payment  whatever,  or  for  any  expense  to  himself  or  growing  out  of  his  participation,  other  than  as 
expressly  provided  for  herein. 

Seventy-one.    A  public  exhibit  of  all  drawings  submitted  in  the  second  stage  will  be  made. 

Seventy-two.  All  drawings,  except  those  of  the  winner  of  the  first  place,  will  be  returned  to  their 
authors  at  the  close  of  the  public  exhibition  by  the  Secretary  of  the  Board  of  Control,  the  Board  of 
Control  assuming  no  responsibility  in  case  of  drawings  lost  or  damaged  in  transit  or  otherwise. 

Seventy-three.  Notice  of  the  decision  of  the  Jury  as  to  its  award  together  with  a  copy  of  its  report 
to  be  made  to  the  Board  of  Control,  giving  a  brief  general  statement  of  the  reasons  for  the  selection 
of  the  winning  designs,  will  be  mailed  to  each  Competitor  in  the  second  stage. 


Concerning  the  Contract  With  Winner.

CHAPTER  235. 

An  act  to  provide  for  the  issuance  and  sale  of  state  bonds  to 
be  known  as  "state  building  bonds,"  to  provide  a  fund 
for  the  erection  and  equipment  of  state  buildings  in  the 
city  of  Sacramento  for  state  purposes,  creating  a  commis- 
sion to  determine  the  amount  to  be  expended  for  furnish- 
ing and  equipping  said  buildings  and  accepting  a  suitable 
site,  creating  a  sinking  and  interest  fund  for  the  pay- 
ment of  interest  on  said  bonds  and  the  redemption  of 
the  same,  making  an  appropriation  therefor,  making  an 
appropriation  of  five  thousand  dollars  for  the  expenses 
of  printing  and  lithographing  said  bonds  and  providing 
for  the  submission  of  this  act  to  a  vote  of  the  people. 

[Approved  June  5,  1913.] 
The  people  of  the  State  of  California  do  enact  as  follows : 

SECTION  1.  For  the  purpose  of  creating  and  providing  a 
fund  for  the  indebtedness  hereby  authorized  to  be  incurred, 
as  hereinafter  provided,  the  state  treasurer  shall  immediately 
after  the  issuance  of  the  proclamation  of  the  governor,  pro- 
vided for  in  section  ten  hereof,  prepare  six  thousand  suit- 
able bonds  of  the  State  of  California,  in  the  denomination  of 
five  hundred  dollars  each.  The  whole  issue  of  said  bonds 
shall  not  exceed  the  sum  of  three  million  dollars,  and  said 
bonds  shall  bear  interest  at  the  rate  of  four  per  centum  per 
annum  from  the  date  of  issuance  thereof,  and  both  principal 
and  interest  shall  be  payable  in  gold  coin  of  the  present  stand- 
ard of  value,  and  they  shall  be  payable  at  the  office  of  the 
state  treasurer,  at  the  expiration  of  fifty  years  from  their 
date.  Said  bonds  shall  bear  date  the  second  day  of  July, 
1915,  and  shall  be  payable  on  the  second  day  of  July,  1965. 
The  interest  accruing  on  such  of  said  bonds  as  are  sold  shall 
be  due  and  payable  at  the  office  of  the  state  treasurer  on 
the  second  day  of  January  and  on  the  second  day  of 
July  of  each  year  after  the  sale  of  the  same.  At  the 
expiration  of  fifty  years  from  the  date  of  said  bonds 
all  bonds  sold  shall  cease  to  bear  interest,  and  the  state 
treasurer  shall  call  in,  forthwith  pay  and  cancel  the  same 
out  of  the  moneys  in  the  sinking  and  interest  fund  pro- 
vided for  in  this  act.  All  bonds  issued  shall  be  signed 
by  the  governor,  and  countersigned  by  the  controller,  and 
shall  be  endorsed  by  the  state  treasurer,  and  the  said  bonds 
shall  be  so  signed,  countersigned,  and  endorsed  by  the  officers 
who  are  in  office  on  the  second  day  of  July,  1915,  and  each 
of  said  bonds  shall  have  the  seal  of  the  state  impressed 
thereon.  The  said  bonds  signed,  countersigned,  endorsed  and 
sealed  as  herein  provided  when  sold  shall  be  and  constitute 
a  valid  and  binding  obligation  upon  the  State  of  California, 
though  the  sale  thereof  be  made  at  a  date  or  dates  after  the 
person  signing,  countersigning  and  endorsing,  or  any  or 
either  of  them,  shall  have  ceased  to  be  the  incumbents  of 
such  office  or  offices. 

SEC.  2.  Interest  coupons  shall  be  attached  to  each  of  said 
bonds,  so  that  such  coupons  may  be  removed  without  injury 
to  or  mutilation  of  the  bond.  Said  bonds  shall  be  consecu- 
tively numbered,  and  shall  bear  the  lithographed  signature 
f  the  state  treasurer  who  shall  be  in  office  on  the  second 
day  of  July,  1915.  But  no  interest  on  any  of  said  bonds 
shall  be  paid  for  any  time  which  may  intervene  between  the 
date  of  any  of  said  bonds  and  the  issue  and  sale  thereof  to 
a  purchaser,  unless  such  accrued  interest  shall  have  been 
by  the  purchaser  of  said  bond,  paid  to  the  state  at  the  time 
of  such  sale. 


SEC.  3.  The  sum  of  five  thousand  dollars  is  hereby  appro- 
priated out  of  any  moneys  in  the  state  treasury  not  otherwise 
appropriated  to  pay  the  expenses  that  may  be  incurred  by 
the  state  treasurer  in  having  said  bonds  prepared. 

SEC.  4.     When  the  bonds  authorized  to  be  issued  under 
this  act  shall  be  duly  executed,  they  shall  be  sold  by  the  state 
treasurer  at  public  auction  to  the  highest  bidder  for  cash  in 
such  parcels  and  numbers  as  shall  be  directed  by  the  gover- 
nor of  the  state ;  but  the  state  treasurer  must  reject  any  and 
all  bids  for  said  bonds,  or  for  any  of  them,  which  shall  be 
below  the  par  value  of  said  bonds  so  offered  plus  the  interest 
which  has  accrued  thereon  between  the  date  of  sale  and  the 
last  preceding  interest  maturity  date  and  he  may,  by  public 
announcement,  at  the  place  and  time  fixed  for  the  sale,  con- 
tinue such  sale,  as  to  the  whole  of  the  bonds  offered,  or  any 
part   thereof   offered,    to   such    time   and   place   as  he   may 
select.     When  a  sale  is  continued,  as  hereinabove  provided, 
no  notice  need  be  given  other  than  the  public  announcement 
of  the  continuance,  as  hereinabove  provided.     Before  offering 
any  of  said  bonds  for  sale,  the  said  treasurer  shall  detach 
therefrom  all  coupons  which  have  matured  before  the  date 
fixed  for  such  sale.     Due  notice  of  the  time  and  place  of  sale 
of  all  bonds  must  be  given  by  said  treasurer  by  publication 
in  one  newspaper  published  in  the  city  and  county  of  San 
Francisco,  and  also  by  publication  in  one  newspaper  pub- 
lished in  the  city  of  Oakland,  and  by  publication  in  one  news- 
paper published  in  the  city  of  Los  Angeles,  and  by  publica- 
tion in  one  newspaper  published  in  the  city  of  Sacramento, 
once   a    week    during    four   weeks    prior   to    such    sale.     In 
addition    to    the   notice    last   above   provided    for   the   state 
treasurer  must  give   such   further  notice  as  he   may   deem 
advisable,    but    the   expenses   and   costs   of   such    additional 
notice  shall   not  exceed  five  hundred  dollars  for  each  sale 
so    advertised.     The    costs    of    such    publications    shall    be 
paid   out  of  any   moneys   in   the  state  treasury  not  other- 
wise   appropriated    on    controller's    warrants    duly    drawn 
for    such    purpose.      The    proceeds    of    the    sale    of    such 
bonds,    except    such    amount    as    may    have    been    paid    as 
accrued    interest    thereon,    shall    be    forthwith    paid    over 
by    said    treasurer   into    the   state    treasury,    and    must    be 
by  him  kept  in  a  separate  fund,  to  be  known  and  designated 
as  the  "state  buildings  fund"  which  fund  is  hereby  estab- 
lished.    Any  and  all   sums  which  may  have  been  paid  as 
accrued  interest  shall  be  forthwith  paid  over  by  said  treas- 
urer into  the  state  treasury,  and  must  be  by  him  kept  in  a 
separate   fund   to  be   known   and   designated   as   the   "state 
buildings  sinking  and  interest  fund,"  which  fund  is  hereby 
established. 

SEC.  5.  Any  and  all  moneys  derived  from  the  sale  of  the 
bonds  provided  for  in  this  act  are  hereby  appropriated  and 
shall  be  used  exclusively  for  the  following  purpose  to  wit : 

The  constructing  and  equipping  of  state  buildings  in  the 
city  of  Sacramento,  State  of  California,  for  the  various 
officers,  boards  and  commissions  of  the  state,  at  a  cost  not 
to  exceed  the  total  sum  of  three  million  dollars,  such  portion 
of  said  sum  of  three  million  dollars  to  be  used  for  the 
furnishing  and  equipping  of  said  state  buildings  as  may  be 
determined  by  a  board  consisting  of  the  governor,  the  pre- 
siding justice  of  the  supreme  court,  and  the  state  librarian, 
which  board  for  such  purpose  is  hereby  created ;  provided, 
however,  that  no  moneys  provided  for  by  this  act  shall  be 
used  for  such  purpose  until  a  site  suitable  for  such  purpose, 
and  acceptable  to  the  state  board  last  above  created,  shall 
be  donated  or  given  to  the  state,  the  title  thereto  to  be  free 
and  clear  of  all  liens  and  encumbrances ;  the  number  of 


buildings  and  their  location  on  the  lands  to  be  donated  shall 
be  determined  by  said  board  in  this  subdivision  of  this  section 
mentioned ;  the  plans  and  specifications  for  said  buildings, 
and  each  of  the  same,  shall  be  prepared  under  the  direction 
and  control  of  said  board  in  this  subdivision  of  this  section 
provided  for. 

SEC.  6.  There  is  hereby  appropriated  out  of  any  moneys 
in  the  state  treasury  not  otherwise  appropriated,  the  sum  of 
fifty  thousand  (50,000)  dollars  annually,  to  pay  the  princi- 
pal of  the  bonds  issued  and  sold  pursuant  to  the  provisions 
of  this  act.  Said  annual  appropriation  to  continue  until  the 
same,  together  with  the  accrued  interest  on  the  investment 
thereof,  shall  be  sufficient  to  pay  the  principal  of  said  bonds 
at  the  maturity  thereof. 

There  is  also  hereby  appropriated  from  any  moneys  in  the 
state  treasury  not  otherwise  appropriated  such  sum  annually 
as  will  be  necessary  to  pay  the  interest  on  the  bonds  issued 
and  sold  pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  this  act. 

There  shall  be  collected  annually  in  the  same  manner  and 
at  the  same  time  as  the  other  state  revenue  is  collected  such 
a  sum,  in  addition  to  the  other  revenues  of  the  state,  as 
shall  be  required  to  pay  the  principal  and  interest  on  said 
bonds  as  herein  provided  and  it  is  hereby  made  the  duty  of 
all  officers  charged  by  law  with  any  duty  in  regard  to  the 
collection  of  said  revenue  to  do  and  perform  each  and  every 
act  which  shall  be  necessary  to  collect  such  additional  sum. 

On  the  2d  day  of  January  and  on  the  2d  day  of  July  of 
each  year,  after  the  sale  of  any  bonds  as  herein  provided  for, 
the  state  treasurer  and  state  controller  shall  transfer  from 
the  moneys  hereby  appropriated  to  the  state  buildings  sink- 
ing and  interest  fund,  a  sufficient  sum  of  money  to  pay  all 
interest  due  and  payable  on  any  bonds  sold  and  said  transfer 
shall  continue  to  be  so  made  up  to  the  date  of  maturity  of 
such  bonds  and  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  state  treasurer  to 
pay  the  same  when  the  same  falls  due.  On  the  first  Monday 
in  July  of  each  year,  after  the  sale  of  any  of  the  bonds  as 
in  this  act  provided  the  state  controller  and  state  treasurer 
are  hereby  authorized  and  directed  to  transfer  the  moneys 
hereby  appropriated  for  the  payment  of  the  principal  of  said 
bonds  to  the  said  state  buildings  sinking  and  interest  fund. 
The  moneys  so  transferred  to  the  said  state  buildings  sinking 
and  interest  fund  for  the  payment  of  the  principal  of  said 
bonds,  shall  be  invested  from  time  to  time  by  the  state 
treasurer  in  United  States  or  state  bonds.  All  interest  pay- 
able on  such  bonds  so  invested  shall  be  paid  into  the  said 
state  buildings  sinking  and  interest  fund  and  be  applied  and 
held  for  the  payment  of  the  principal  of  said  bonds  or  rein- 
vested in  other  bonds  for.  the  payment  of  such  principal,  as 
herein  provided. 

The  principal  of  all  of  said  bonds  sold  shall  be  paid  at  the 
time  the  same  becomes  due,  from  the  "state  buildings  sinking 
and  interest  fund"  and  the  interest  on  all  bonds  sold  shall 
be  paid  at  the  time  said  interest  becomes  due  from  said  fund 
and  the  faith  of  the  State  of  California  is  hereby  pledged 
for  the  payment  of  the  principal  of  said  bonds  so  sold  and 
the  interest  accruing  thereon. 

The  state  controller  and  the  state  treasurer  shall  keep  full 
and  particular  account  and  record  of  all  their  proceedings 
under  this  act,  and  they  shall  transmit  to  the  governor  an 
abstract  of  all  such  proceedings  thereunder,  with  an  annual 
report,  to  be  by  the  governor  laid  before  the  legislature  bien- 
nially ;  and  all  books  and  papers  pertaining  to  the  matter 
provided  for  in  this  act  shall  at  all  times  be  open  to  the 
inspection  of  any  party  interested,  or  the  governor,  or  the 
attorney  general,  or  a  committee  of  either  branch  of  the 
legislature,  or  a  joint  committee  of  both,  or  any  citizen  of 
the  state. 


SEC.  7.  When  the  bonds  provided  for  by  this  act  are 
redeemed,  the  state  treasurer  shall  mark  the  same  cancelled, 
and  shall,  in  the  presence  of  the  governor  destroy  the  same 
by  burning  the  said  bonds. 

SEC.  8.  This  act,  if  adopted  by  the  people,  shall  take 
effect  on  the  thirty-first  day  of  December,  1914,  as  to  all  its 
provisions  excepting  those  relating  to  and  necessary  for  its 
submission  to  the  people,  and  for  returning,  canvassing  and

SEC.  7.  The  advisory  board  shall  meet  at  such  times  as 
the  work  of  the  department  may  require  and  shall  meet  at 
least  once  in  two  months.  Said  board  shall  advise  with  the 
state  engineer,  highway  engineer  or  state  architect  as  neces- 
sity requires  and  may  advise  with  the  boards  of  managers  or 
trustees  of  the  various  state  institutions  requiring  engineer- 
ing or  structural  work,  and  with  any  state  commission 
regarding  all  works  wherein  such  commission  may  be  inter- 
ested. The  advisory  board  shall  approve  all  plans  and  speci- 
fications for  all  public  work  and  shall  determine  the  kind, 
quality  and  extent  of  all  public  work  of  the  state.  All  boards 
of  managers,  trustees  and  state  commissions  of  state  institu- 
tions shall  apply  to  the  department  of  engineering  for  plans 
and  specifications  for  all  public  work  coming  under  their 
charge,  and  before  accepting  any  such  work  done  under  con- 
tract shall  have  a  certificate  from  the  state  engineer  who 
shall  examine  and  certify  to  its  completion.  All  public  work 
coming  under  the  full  control  of  the  department  of  engineer- 
ing may  upon  the  discretion  of  the  advisory  board  be  either 
contracted  for  or  done  by  day's  labor.  The  advisory  board 
shall  have  the  power,  on  the  approval  of  plans  and  specifica- 
tions by  the  state  engineer,  to  direct  whether  any  building  or 
structure  at  any  state  institution  shall  be  let  by  contract  in 
part  or  in  whole,  or  whether  said  building  or  structure  shall 
be  built  by  day's  labor  in  part  or  in  whole,  but  after  approval 
of  the  plans,  specifications  and  estimates  by  the  advisory 
board  of  the  department  of  engineering,  if,  in  the  opinion  of 
such  department  of  engineering,  the  acceptance  of  any  bid  or 
bids  shall  not  be  for  the  best  interests  of  the  state,  or  if  in 
the  opinion  of  such  department  of  engineering  the  acceptance 
of  any  further  bids  after  the  rejection  of  all  bids  submitted 
shall  not  be  for  the  best  interests  of  the  state,  it  may  be 
legal  for  them  to  direct  that  the  work  or  improvement  of  any 
state  building,  road  or  any  other  improvement  be  done  upon 
a  day's  labor  basis.  Whenever  any  public  work  to  be  done 
by  the  state  except  work  on  property  of  the  state  on  the 
water  front  of  the  city  and  county  of  San  Francisco  under 
the  jurisdiction  of  the  board  of  state  harbor  commissioners  is 
placed  upon  a  day's  labor  basis,  it  is  especially  exempted 
from  any  law  on  or  relating  to  contracts  of  the  state.  The 
full  control  of  such  day's  labor  work  is  placed  under  the 
department  of  engineering  and  said  department  shall  do  all 
things  necessary  to  properly  carry  out  the  work.  When  such 
work  is  so  placed  upon  a  day's  labor  basis,  any  appropriation 
which  is  now  available  or  which  is  now  or  may  be  appro- 
priated to  become  available,  is  by  this  act  taken  out  of  the 
control  of  any  board  of  trustees,  directors,  commissioners, 
officers  or  other  body  to  whom  it  has  been  appropriated,  and 
placed  exclusively  under  the  control  of  the  department  of 
engineering,  and  the  claims  for  said  work  shall  be  approved 
by  the  department  of  engineering,  and  audited  by  the  board 
of  examiners,  upon  whose  audit  the  controller  shall  draw  his 
warrant  and  the  treasurer  shall  pay  the  same.  The  depart- 
ment of  engineering  shall  have  power  to  receive  informal  bids 
upon  any  subdivision  of  the  day's  labor  work  and  the  state 
engineer  may  upon  the  approval  of  the  advisory  board  enter 
into  an  agreement  for  any  such  subdivisional  work  of  the 
day's  labor  work.  (Approved  April  8,  1911,  Statutes  1911, 
p.  826.) 

SEC.  8.  All  public  work  done  by  the  state,  except  as 
otherwise  provided  for  by  law,  shall  be  under  the  full  control 
of  the  said  department.  It  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  depart- 
ment of  engineering  whenever  required  by  the  advisory  board 
to  make  examinations  of  lands  subject  to  inundation  and 
overflow  by  flood  waters  and  of  the  waters  causing  such 
inundation  or  overflow  and  plans  and  estimates  of  the  cost  of 
works  to  regulate  and  control  such  flood  waters.  All  matters 


of  drainage,  and  improving  and  rectifying  river  channels  and 
other  work  on  any  river  or  slough  flowing  into  San  Fran- 
cisco bay,  San  Pablo  bay  and  Suisun  bay,  and  also  the  tide 
waters  flowing  into  said  bays,  shall  be  placed  under  the 
management  and  control  of  the  department  of  engineering 
whenever  the  law  provides  therefor.  The  department  of 
engineering  shall  have  charge  of  all  expenditures  unless 
otherwise  provided  by  law  for  all  public  works  relating  to 
general  river  and  harbor  improvements,  including  reclamation 
and  drainage  of  lands.  It  may  purchase,  construct  and 
operate  one  or  more  dredges  or  any  other  needed  appliances 
to  promote  or  properly  carry  out  the  work  of  the  department. 
The  state  engineer  in  the  name  of  the  State  of  California, 
may  obtain  or  condemn  any  right  of  way  necessary  for  any 
construction  herein  named  and  shall  proceed,  if  necessary,  to 
condemn  under  the  terms  of  the  Code  of  Civil  Procedure 
relating  to  such  proceedings.  It  shall  be  the  duty  of  the 
state  department  of  engineering  to  pass  upon  all  plans,  speci- 
fications and  estimates  for  the  construction  of  dams  now 
already  constructed,  in  process  of  construction,  or  proposed 
to  be  constructed  for  the  impounding  of  water  other  than  the 
dams  now  coming  under  the  authority  of  the  California  rail- 
road commission.  The  department  shall  have  the  power  to 
employ  such  additional  help  for  the  performance  of  the  work 
of  this  section  as  the  advisory  board  shall  order.  (Approved 
May  19,  1915.  In  effect  August  8,  1915,  Statutes  1915, 
p.  632.) 

SEC.  9.  The  department  of  engineering  shall  take  and 
have  full  possession  and  control  of  all  roads  and  highways 
which  have  been  declared  and  adopted  state  roads  and  state

hereafter  be  acquired  and  constructed.  All  expenditures  by 
the  state  for  highway  purposes,  except  as  otherwise  hereafter 
provided  by  law,  shall  be  under  the  full  charge  of  the  depart- 
ment of  engineering,  and  all  moneys  appropriated  for  such 
purpose  shall  be  made  payable  upon  the  proper  demand  of 
said  department  when  approved  and  audited  by  the  state 
board  of  control.  The  department  of  engineering,  in  the 
name  of  the  people  of  the  State  of  California,  shall  have  the 
power  to  obtain  or  condemn  necessary  rights  of  way  for  any 
authorized  state  highway  or  for  the  change  of  any  existing 
state  highway  or  for  any  road  placed  under  the  department's 
charge  by  law  unless  otherwise  provided.  It  shall  have 
power  to  alter  or  change  the  route  of  a  road  and  shall  do 
all  things  necessary,  and  obtain  all  tools  and  implements 
required  to  properly  care  for  and  manage  the  roads  under 
the  charge  of  the  department.  Whenever,  under  any  stat- 
utes of  this  state,  the  performance  of  any  duty  or  obligation 
is  imposed  upon  the  department  of  highways,  the  same  shall 
be  assumed  by,  and  the  performance  of  the  same  shall 
devolve  upon,  the  department  of  engineering.  The  said  Cali- 
fornia highway  commission  shall  forthwith  assume  and  have 
and  exercise  all  of  the  powers  and  duties  of  the  state  engi- 
neer relating  to  state  roads  and  state  highways  and  other 
roads  and  highways  heretofore  by  law  conferred  or  imposed

immediately  relinquish  and  transfer  to  the  said  California 
highway  commission  all  funds,  papers,  maps,  records  and 
other  documents  of  the  department  of  engineering  relating 
to  the  roads  and  highways  of  the  state  and  thereafter  the 
state  engineer  shall  have  no  further  duty,  power  or  respon- 
sibility with  regard  to  roads  and  highways,  save  only  such 
as  shall  devolve  upon  him  as  a  member  of  the  advisory  board 
of  the  department  of  engineering.  Said  California  highway 
commission  shall  have  the  supervision  and  direction  of  all 
state  roads  and  state  highways  now  existing  and  the  improve- 
ment, maintenance,  repair  and  protection  thereof,  and  have

and  one  in  San  Francisco,  devoted  primarily  to  the  dissem- 
ination of  contract  and  building  news  among  contracting  and 
building  material  supply  firms;  provided,  that  if  the  work 
comes  within  the  immediate  supervision  of  the  state  engineer, 
in  the  record  kept  for  that  purpose  the  state  engineer  shall 
register  any  one  desiring  to  be  so  registered  for  the  purpose 
of  becoming  a  prospective  bidder  upon  state  work,  which 
registration  shall  be  renewed  on  or  before  the  beginning  of 
each  fiscal  year,  and  whenever  any  state  work  is  to  be  let 
by  contract  the  state  engineer  shall  cause  a  notice  of  the 
same  to  be  mailed  to  each  of  the  addresses  so  registered  at 
least  twenty-five  days  prior  to  the  date  set  for  the  receiving 
of  bids.  In  each  case  such  notice  must  state  the  time  and 
place  for  the  receiving  and  opening  of  sealed  bids  and  must 
also  state  that  the  bids  will  be  required  for  the  entire  work 
and  also,  when  advisable,  for  the  performance  of  segregate 
parts  of  the  entire  work,  such  segregation  to  be  determined 
by  the  department  of  engineering  and  designated  in  such 
notice.  (Approved  June  8,  1915,  Statutes  1915,  p.  1306.) 

SEC.  3.  On  the  day  named  in  said  public  notice  the 
department  of  engineering  shall  proceed  to  publicly  open  said 
sealed  bids,  and  shall  award  such  contract  or  contracts  to  the 
lowest  responsible  bidder  or  bidders.  All  bids  shall  be  pre- 
sented under  sealed  cover  and  shall  be  accompanied  by  cash, 
a  bidder's  bond,  or  a  certified  check  made  payable  to  the  state 
engineer,  for  an  amount  equal  to  at  least  ten  per  cent  of  the 


amount  of  said  bid  and  no  bid  shall  be  considered  unless  such 
cash,  bond  or  check  is  enclosed  therewith.  Should  the  suc- 
cessful bidder  to  whom  the  contract  is  awarded  fail  to  execute 
the  same,  such  cash,  bond  or  check  shall  be  forfeited  to  the 
State  of  California  and  the  same  shall  be  the  property  of 
the  state.  All  other  cash,  bonds  and  certified  checks  shall 
within  ten  days  after  the  date  of  the  award  of  said  contract, 
be  returned  to  the  successful  bidders  who  submitted  the 
same.  Such  contract  or  contracts  shall  not  be  binding  on 
the  state  until  they  are  submitted  to  the  attorney  general  and 
by  him  found  to  be  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  this 
act,  and  his  certificate  thereon  to  that  effect  made.  If  in  the 
opinion  of  such  department  of  engineering  the  acceptance  of 
the  lowest  responsible  bid  or  bids  shall  not  be  for  the  best 
interests  of  the  state,  it  may  be  lawful  for  them  to  reject  all 
bids  and  advertise  for  others  in  the  manner  aforesaid.  But 
after  the  approval  of  the  plans,  specifications  and  estimates 
of  costs  by  the  advisory  board  of  the  department  of  engineer- 
ing, if,  in  the  opinion  of  such  department  of  engineering  the 
acceptance  of  any  bid  or  bids  shall  not  be  for  the  best  interests 
of  the  state,  or  if  in  the  opinion  of  such  department  of  engi- 
neering the  acceptance  of  any  further  bids  after  the  rejection 
of  all  bids  submitted  shall  not  be  for  the  best  interests  of  the 
state,  it  may  be  legal  for  them  to  direct  that  the  erection, 
construction,  alteration,  repair,  or  improvement  of  any  state 
structure,  building,  road,  or  other  state  improvement  of  any 
kind,  except  as  provided  in  section  one  of  this  act,  shall  be 
done  by  day's  labor,  under  the  direction  and  control  of  the 
department  of  engineering.  Upon  the  approval  of  the 
advisory  board,  the  state  engineer  or  other  duly  authorized 
officers  of  the  department  of  engineering  may,  when  proceed- 
ing upon  the  basis  of  day's  labor,  let  any  subdivision  or  unit 
of  said  work  by  contract  upon  informal  bids.  All  contracts 
shall  provide  that  such  department  of  engineering  may,  as 
hereinafter  provided,  and  on  the  conditions  stated,  make  any 
change  in  the  plans  and  specifications.  Certified  copies  of 
such  contracts  shall  be  filed  with  the  controller  and  the  board 
of  examiners.  (Approved  June  8,  1915,  Statutes  1915,  p. 
1306.) 

SEC.  4.  After  the  contract  or  contracts  are  let  no  change 
shall  be  made  to  increase  or  diminish  the  cost  of  any  contract 
in  excess  of  five  hundred  dollars,  except  upon  the  approval 
of  the  advisory  board  of  the  department  of  engineering,  and 
then  only  upon  additional  plans  and  specifications  and  esti- 
mates of  cost  being  filed  and  approved,  and  amended  con- 
tracts entered  into  and  filed  with  the  original  contract.  This 
section  shall  not  be  construed,  in  state  road  or  highway 
work,  to  prevent  the  receipt  of  bids  or  the  making  of  a  con- 
tract upon  a  unit  basis,  that  is,  the  bids  compared  upon  the 
basis  of  the  estimates  of  quantities  of  the  work  to  be  done, 
nor  the  increase  or  decrease  of  such  quantities  during  the 
progress  of  the  work  by  the  department  of  engineering  as 
may  be  deemed  expedient  by  such  department,  nor  the  inser- 
tion of  provisions  in  the  contract  for  the  performance  of  such 
extra  work  and  the  furnishing  of  such  materials  therefor  by 
the  contractor  as  may  be  required  by  such  department  for 
the  proper  completion  or  construction  of  the  whole  work  con- 
templated;  provided,  that  the  bidders  shall  have  had  equal 
opportunity  of  knowing  what  the  terms  proposed  by  the 
department  of  engineering  for  the  performance  of  such  extra 
work  shall  be.  (Approved  June  8,  1915,  Statutes  1915, 
p.  1306.) 

SEC.  5.  Except  in  unit  basis  contracts  in  state  road  or 
highway  work,  no  contract  or  contracts  shall  be  made  exceed- 
ing in  amount  the  estimates  of  costs  approved  by  the  advisory 
board  of  the  department  of  engineering  and  no  plans  and 


specifications  and  estimates  of  cost  including  expense  of 
advertising  and  inspection,  shall  be  approved  by  said  board 
requiring  a  greater  expenditure  of  money  than  is  appropriated 
for  the  specific  purpose  in  the  act  authorizing  the  same. 
(Approved  June  8,  1915,  Statutes  1915,  p.  1306.) 

SEC.  6.  Payments  upon  contract  shall  be  made  as  the 
department  of  engineering  may  prescribe  upon  estimates 
made  and  approved  by  the  said  department  and  audited  by 
the  board  of  examiners,  but  no  payment  shall  be  made  in 
excess  of  ninety  per  cent  of  the  percentage  of  actual  work 
completed,  to  which  has  been  added  one-half  of  the  value  of 
material  delivered  on  the  ground  and  unused.  The  depart- 
ment of  engineering  shall  withhold  not  less  than  ten  per  cent 
of  the  contract  price  until  final  completion  and  acceptance  of 
the  work.  The  controller  shall  draw  his  warrants  upon  esti- 
mates so  made  and  approved  by  the  department  of  engineer- 
ing and  audited  by  the  board  of  examiners  and  the  state 
treasurer  shall  pay  the  same.  (Approved  March  22,  1909, 
Statutes  1909,  p.  656.) 

SEC.  7.  Any  member  of  the  advisory  board  or  persons 
employed  under  the  department  of  engineering  who  shall 
knowingly  perform  any  official  act  to  the  injury  of  the  state, 
or  any  contractor  or  his  agent  or  employee  who  shall  know- 
ingly permit  the  violation  of  the  contract  of  such  contractor 
to  the  injury  of  the  state,  or  any  agent  or  employee  of  any 
contractor  who  shall  have  knowledge  of  any  work  being  done 
in  violation  of  contract  and  does  not  immediately  notify  the 
department  of  engineering  or  the  inspector  upon  said  work 
in  regard  to  the  same  is  guilty  of  a  felony  and,  upon  convic- 
tion thereof,  shall  be  confined  in  the  state  prison  for  not  less 
than  one  year  nor  more  than  five  years,  and  be  liable  to  the 
state  for  double  the  amount  the  state  may  have  lost,  or  be 
liable  to  lose  by  reason  thereof.  (Approved  March  22,  1909, 
Statutes  1909,  p.  656.) 

SEC.  8.  Whenever,  in  the  opinion  of  the  department  of 
engineering,  the  work  under  any  contract  made  in  pursuance 
of  this  act,  is  neglected  by  the  contractor  or  contractors,  or 
the  same  is  not  prosecuted  with  diligence  and  force  specified 
or  intended  in  and  by  the  terms  of  the  contract,  it  shall  be 
lawful  for  such  department  of  engineering  to  make  a  requi- 
sition upon  such  contractor  or  contractors  for  such  additional 
specific  force,  or  for  such  additional  specific  material,  to  be 
brought  into  the  work  under  such  contract,  or  to  remove 
improper  materials  from  the  grounds ;  of  which  action  of 
said  department  of  engineering  due  notice  in  writing  of  not 
less  than  five  days,  shall  be  served  upon  such  contractor,  or 
his  or  their  agent  having  charge  of  the  work.  Such  written 
notice  may  be  served  by  personally  delivering  such  notice  to 
such  contractor,  or  his  agent  having  charge  of  the  work,  or 
by  registered  mail  directed  to  such  contractor  or  agent  (the 
period  of  five  days  to  run  from  the  date  of  registration  in 
the  United  States  post  office),  or  when  such  contractor  or 
his  agent  has  left  the  state  or  his  address  is  unknown,  by 
posting  such  notice  in  a  conspicuous  place  upon  the  premises 
of  work.  If  such  contractor  or  contractors  fail  to  comply 
with  such  requisition  within  five  days,  it  shall  be  lawful  for 
said  department  of  engineering  to  employ  upon  such  work 
the  additional  force,  or  supply  the  materials  so  specifically 
required  as  aforesaid,  or  such  part  of  either  as  they  may 
deem  proper,  and  to  remove  improper  materials  from  the 
grounds;  and  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  such  department  of 
engineering  to  make  separate  estimates  of  all  such  additional 
force  or  materials  so  employed  or  supplied  as  aforesaid,  and 
the  amount  so  estimated  shall  be  charged  against  said  con- 
tractor or  contractors,  and  deducted  from  his  or  their  next, 
or  any  subsequent,  estimate ;  or  the  same,  or  any  part  thereof 


not  paid  as  aforesaid,  may  be  recovered  by  action  from  such 
contractor  or  contractors  and  their  sureties.  (Approved 
June  8,  1915,  Statutes  1915,  p.  1306.) 

SEC.  9.  In  all  contracts  made  under  the  provisions  of 
this  act,  there  shall  be  a  provision  in  regard  to  the  time  when 
the  whole,  or  any  specified  portion,  of  the  work  contemplated 
in  said  contract  shall  be  completed,  and  also  providing  that 
for  each  and  every  day  the  same  shall  be  delayed  beyond  such 
time  or  times  so  named,  the  said  contractor  or  contractors 
shall  forfeit  and  pay  to  the  state  a  sum  of  money,  to  be  fixed 
and  determined  in  said  contract,  to  be  deducted  from  any 
payment  or  payments  due,  or  to  become  due,  to  said  con- 
tractor or  contractors ;  provided,  however,  that  the  depart- 
ment of  engineering  may,  in  its  discretion,  grant  such  exten- 
sions of  time  as  it  may  deem  expedient  and  for  the  best 
interests  of  the  state.  Any  such  contract  shall  provide  for 
the  filing  of  a  sufficient  bond  by  the  contractor  to  secure  the 
payment  of  the  claims  of  material  men,  mechanics,  or  laborers 
employed  upon  state  work ;  a  penalty  of  ten  dollars  per  day 
to  be  forfeited  to  the  state  for  each  calendar  day  during 
which  any  laborer,  workman,  or  mechanic  is  employed  or 
permitted  to  labor  more  than  eight  hours ;  a  minimum  com- 
pensation of  not  less  than  two  dollars  per  day  for  labor; 
that  no  Chinese  or  Mongolian  labor  shall  be  employed  and 
such  other  provisions  as  are  now  or  may  hereafter  be  pro- 
vided by  law.  (Approved  June  8,  1915,  Statutes  1915, 
p.  1306.) 

SEC.  10.  An  act  entitled  "An  act  to  regulate  contracts 
on  behalf  of  the  state  in  relation  to  erections  and  build- 
ings," approved  March  23,  1876,  and  all  acts  amendatory 
thereto  are  hereby  repealed,  and  all  other  acts  or  parts  of 
acts  in  conflict  with  the  provisions  of  this  act  are  hereby 
repealed.  Such  repeal  shall  not  affect,  however,  the  opera- 
tion of  any  other  act  heretofore  passed,  whether  such  act 
shall  refer  to  the  act  hereby  repealed  or  not,  so  as  to  exempt 
any  public  work  from  the  provisions  of  this  act.  (Approved 
March  22,  1909,  Statutes  1909,  p.  656.) 

SEC.  11.  All  of  the  provisions  of  this  act  shall  be  so  con- 
strued as  to  preserve  and  keep  in  full  force  and  effect  all 
causes  of  action,  and  actions  for  penalties  which  have  already 
accrued  or  may  hereafter  accrue  under  any  contract,  hereto- 
fore entered  into,  against  any  contractor  or  person  under  and 
by  virtue  of  the  provisions  of  said  act  entitled  "An  act  to 
regulate  contracts  on  behalf  of  the  state  in  relation  to  erec- 
tions and  buildings,"  approved  March  23,  1876,  which  is 
repealed  by  virtue  of  this  act,  and  all  such  actions  and 
causes  of  action  may  be  prosecuted  to  final  judgment  and  all 
such  penalties  may  be  imposed  and  collected  under  the  pro- 
visions of  said  act  so  repealed  to  the  same  extent  and  in  the 
same  manner  as  though  said  act  had  not  been  repealed.

Constitutional:  Ex  parte  McManus,  151  Cal.  331. 
1.  Within  sixty  days  from  and  after  the  passage  of  this 
act,  the  governor  of  the  state  shall  appoint  ten  persons, 
which  persons  so  appointed  shall  constitute  a  board,  which 
board  shall  be  known  and  designated  as  the  state  board  of 
architecture.  Five  members  of  said  board  of  architecture, 
shall  be  residents  of  the  northern  district  of  California,  and 
shall  constitute  the  northern  district  board  for  the  examina- 
tion of  applicants  for  certificates  to  practice  architecture  in 
this  state.  And  five  members  of  said  board  shall  be  appointed 


from  the  southern  district  of  California,  and  shall  constitute 
the  southern  district  board  for  the  examination  of  applicants 
for  certificates  to  practice  architecture  in  this  state.  The 
northern  district  shall  be  all  that  portion  of  the  state  north 
of  the  northerly  line  of  the  county  of  San  Luis  Obispo  and 
the  county  of  Kern  and  the  county  of  San  Bernardino.  And 
the  southern  district  shall  be  all  that  portion  of  the  state 
south  of  the  northerly  line  of  the  county  of  San  Luis  Obispo 
and  of  the  county  of  Kern  and  of  the  county  of  San  Ber- 
nardino. Said  state  board  of  architecture  shall  be  appointed 
by  the  governor  as  follows :  Five  members  shall  be  appointed 
from  the  members  in  good  standing  of  the  San  Francisco 
Chapter  of  the  American  Institute  of  Architects,  or  some 
similar  institution  or  association  of  architects,  two  of  whom 
shall  be  designated  to  hold  office  for  two  years.  Five  mem- 
bers shall  be  appointed  from  the  members  of  the  Southern 
California  Chapter  of  the  American  Institute  of  Architects, 
or  some  similar  institution  or  association  of  architects,  two 
of  whom  shall  be  designated  to  hold  office  for  two  years. 
Each  person  so  appointed  shall  hold  office  for  four  years, 
unless  so  designated  to  hold  office  for  two  years.  And  there- 
after, upon  the  expiration  of  the  term  of  office  of  the  persons 
so  appointed,  the  governor  of  the  state  shall  appoint  a  suc- 
cessor or  successors  to  such  outgoing  person  or  persons  whose 
term  of  office  shall  have  expired,  to  hold  office  for  four  years ; 
provided,  that  the  membership  of  the  state  board  of  architec- 
ture shall  be  composed  as  herein  set  forth.  Each  member 
shall  hold  over  after  the  expiration  of  his  term  of  office  until 
his  successor  shall  have  been  duly  appointed  and  qualified. 
Any  vacancy  occurring  in  the  membership  of  the  board  shall 
be  filled  by  the  governor  of  the  state  for  the  unexpired  term 
in  like  manner.  The  members  of  the  board  shall  serve  with- 
out compensation  from  the  state.  The  expenses  of  the  board 
shall  be  paid  out  of  the  fees  collected  from  applicants  for 
certificates. 

2.  The  members  of  the  state  board  of  architecture  shall, 
before  entering  upon  the  discharge   of  the  duties  of  their 
office,  take  and  file  with  the  secretary  of  state  the  constitu- 
tional oath  of  office.     The  said  state  board  of  architecture 
shall,  within  thirty  days  from  and  after  their  appointment, 
meet  and  elect  from  their  number  a  president  and  a  vice  presi- 
dent, one  of  whom  shall  be  a  resident  of  the  northern  dis- 
trict, and  one  a  resident  of  the  southern  district,  and  two 
secretaries,    one   from   each   district.     The   secretaries   shall 
also   act   as   treasurers.     The   person   receiving   the   highest 
number  of  votes  shall  be  secretary,  and  the  person  receiving 
the  next  highest  number  of  votes,  assistant  secretary.     Said 
persons  shall  hold  office  for  two  years,  or  until  their  succes- 
sors shall  have  been  duly  elected  and  qualified. 

3.  The  board   may   adopt   rules   and   regulations   for  the 
government  of  its  proceedings,  not  inconsistent  with  this  act. 
The  state  board  shall  adopt  a  seal  for  its  own  use,  and  one  for 
each  of  the  district  boards.     The  seal  used  by  the  northern 
district    board    shall    have    the    words    "Northern    District" 
inscribed  thereon,  and  the  one  for  the  southern  district  board 
shall  have  the  words  "Southern  District"  inscribed  thereon, 
and  the  secretary  and  assistant  secretary  shall  have  charge, 
care  and  custody  thereof.     The  secretary  shall  keep  a  correct 
record  of  all  the  proceedings  of  the  board,  which  shall  be 
open  to  public  examination  at  all  times.     Six  members  shall 
constitute  a  quorum  for  the  transaction  of  business  of  the 
state  board  of  architecture,  and  three  members  shall  con- 
stitute a  quorum  of  the  district  boards  for  the  transaction  of 
business.     Special  meetings  of  the  state  board  of  architecture

four  of  its  members,  and  by   giving  twenty   days'   written 
notice  of  such  meeting,  and  the  time  and  place  at  which  such 
meeting  is  to  be  held,  to  each  member  of  the  board.     The 


district  board  shall  call  special  meetings  upon  the  written 
request  of  two  of  its  members  made  to  the  secretary,  and 
upon  five  days'  written  notice  to  each  member  of  such  dis- 
trict board.  Within  thirty  days  from  and  after  the  date  of 
their  appointment,  the  state  board  shall  meet  to  organize, 
elect  officers  as  in  this  act  provided  for,  and  formulate  and 
adopt  a  code  of  rules  and  regulations  for  its  government  in 
the  examination  of  applicants  for  certificates  to  practice 
architecture  in  this  state ;  and  such  other  rules  and  regula- 
tions as  may  be  necessary  and  proper,  not  inconsistent  with 
this  act.  The  board  may  from  time  to  time  repeal  or  modify 
its  rules  and  regulations,  not  inconsistent  with  this  act.  The 
state  board  shall  meet  annually,  on  the  second  Tuesday  in 
April,  for  the  purpose  of  transacting  such  business  as  may 
lawfully  come  before  it,  not  inconsistent  with  this  act.  The 
district  boards  shall  hold  their  regular  meetings  for  the  exam- 
ination of  applicants  for  certificates  to  practice  architecture, 
on  the  last  Tuesday  of  January,  April,  July  and  October  of 
each  year.  The  board  of  the  northern  district  shall  meet  in 
San  Francisco ;  and  the  board  of  the  southern  district  shall 
meet  in  Los  Angeles,  and  at  such  other  times  and  places  as 
they  may  elect,  to  examine  applicants  for  certificates.  Any 
person  shall  be  entitled  to  an  examination  for  a  certificate 
to  practice  architecture,  upon  payment,  to  the  district  board 
when  he  makes  application,  of  a  fee  of  fifteen  dollars,  which 
fee  shall  be  retained  by  the  board ;  should  the  applicant  pass 
a  satisfactory  examination  by  said  district  board,  the  secre- 
tary shall,  upon  the  payment  to  him  of  a  further  fee  of  five 
dollars,  issue  to  the  applicant  a  certificate,  signed  by  the 
president  and  secretary,  sealed  with  the  seal  of  the  district 
board,  and  directed  to  the  secretary  of  state,  setting  forth  the 
fact  that  the  person  therein  named  has  passed  a  satisfactory 
examination,  and  that  such  person  is  entitled  to  a  certificate 
to  practice  architecture  in  this  state,  in  accordance  with  the 
provisions  of  this  act ;  and  upon  the  payment  to  the  secretary 
of  state  of  a  fee  of  five  dollars,  the  secretary  shall  at  once 
issue  to  the  person  therein  named  a  certificate  to  practice 
architecture  in  this  state  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of 
this  act,  which  certificate  shall  contain  the  full  name  of  the 
applicant,  his  birthplace  and  age,  together  with  the  name  of 
the  district  board  issuing  the  certificate,  and  date  of  issuance 
thereof.  All  papers-  received  by  the  secretary  of  state  on 
application  for  certificate  shall  be  kept  on  file  in  his  office, 
and  a  proper  index  and  record  thereof  shall  be  kept  by  him. 

4.  Any  architect  in  good  standing,  who  shall  show  to  the 
satisfaction  of  the  district  board  of  the  district  in  which  such 
architect  may  reside,  that  he  was  engaged  in  the  practice  of 
the  profession  of  architecture  on  the  date  of  the  passage  of 
this  act,  shall  be  granted  a  certificate  without  passing  an 
examination,  on  the  payment  to  the  district  board  of  a  fee  of 
five  dollars ;  provided,  such  application  shall  be  made  within 
six  months  from  and  after  the  passage  of  this  act.     Said 
certificate  shall  set  forth  the  fact  that  the  person  to  whom 
the  same  was  issued  was  practicing  architecture  in  this  state 
at  the  time  of  the  passage  of  this  act,  and  that  the  person 
therein  named  is  entitled  to  a  certificate  to  practice  architec- 
ture without  having  to  pass  an  examination  by  the  district 
board ;  and  the  secretary  of  state  shall,  upon  the  payment  to 
him  of  a  fee  of  five  dollars,  issue  to  the  person  named  therein 
a  certificate  to  practice  architecture  in  this  state,  in  accord- 
ance   with    the    provisions    of    this    act.     Each    certificated 
architect  shall  have  his  certificate  recorded  in  the  office  of 
the  county  recorder,  in  each  and  every  county  in  this  state, 
in  which  the  holder  thereof  shall  practice,  and  he  shall  pay 
to  the  recorder  the  same  fee  as  is  charged  for  the  recording 
of  deeds.     A  failure  to  have  his  certificate  so  recorded  shall 
be  deemed  sufficient  cause  for  revocation  of  such  certificate. 

5.  After  the  expiration  of  six  months  from  the  passage  of 
this  act,  it  shall  be  unlawful,  and  it  shall  be  a  misdemeanor, 


punishable  by  fine  of  not  less  than  fifty  dollars  nor  more 
than  five  hundred  dollars,  for  any  person  to  practice  architec- 
ture without  a  certificate  in  this  state,  or  to  advertise,  or  put 
out  any  sign  or  card,  or  other  device  which  might  indicate 
to  the  public  that  he  was  an  architect ;  provided,  that  nothing 
in  this  act  shall  prevent  any  person  from  making  plans  for 
his  own  buildings,  nor  furnishing  plans  or  other  data  for 
buildings  for  other  persons,  provided  the  person  so  furnish- 
ing such  plans  or  data  shall  fully  inform  the  person  for 
whom  such  plans  or  data  are  furnished,  that  he,  the  person 
furnishing  such  plans,  is  not  a  certificated  architect ;  pro- 
vided, that  nothing  in  this  act  shall  prevent  the  employment 
of  an  architect  residing  out  of  the  State  of  California  to  pre- 
pare plans  and  specifications  for  buildings  or  other  structures 
within  the  state,  conditioned  he  shall  present  satisfactory 
evidence  to  the  board  of  the  district  in  which  the  structure 
is  to  be  erected  that  he  is  a  competent  architect,  when  such 
board  shall  issue  to  such  architect  a  temporary  certificate  for 
such  employment,  upon  the  payment  of  a  fee  of  five  dollars. 
Architects'  certificates  issued  in  accordance  with  the  pro- 
visions of  this  act  shall  remain  in  full  force  until  revoked 
for  cause,  as  hereinafter  provided  for  in  this  act.  A  certifi- 
cate may  be  revoked  for  dishonest  practices,  or  for  gross 
incompetency  in  the  practice  of  the  profession,  which  ques- 
tions shall  be  determined  by  the  district  board  of  the  district 
in  which  the  person  whose  certificate  is  called  in  question 
shall  reside,  or  shall  be  doing  business ;  and  upon  a  full 
investigation  of  the  charges  by  the  district  board,  an  oppor- 
tunity having  been  given  the  accused  to  be  heard  in  his  own 
defense  or  by  counsel ;  and  upon  the  verdict  of  at  least  four 
members  of  the  district  board,  the  board  may  issue  its  certifi- 
cate to  the  secretary  of  state  revoking  the  certificate  of  the 
person  accused ;  and  the  secretary  of  state  shall  thereupon 
cancel  such  certificate.  And  on  the  cancellation  of  such  cer- 
tificate, it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  secretary  of  the  district 
board  to  give  notice  of  such  cancellation  to  the  county 
recorder  of  each  county  in  this  state,  whereupon  the  recorder 
shall  mark  the  certificate  recorded  in  his  office  "Canceled." 

After  the  expiration  of  six  months  the  person  whose  cer- 
tificate was  revoked  may  have  a  new  certificate  issued  to  him 
by  the  secretary  of  state  upon  the  certificate  of  the  district 
board  by  which  the  certificate  was  revoked. 

Every  certificated  architect  shall  have  a  seal,  the  impres- 
sion of  which  must  contain  the  name  of  the  architect,  his 
place  of  business,  and  the  words  "Certificated  architect," 
with  which  he  may  stamp  all  plans  prepared  by  him. 

6.  This  act  shall  take  effect  from  and  after  its  passage. 

7.  Each  regularly  certificated  architect  shall  pay  an  annual 
license  fee  of  five  dollars,  said  fee  to  be  paid  to  the  secretary 
of  the  board  of  the  district  of  which  he  shall  be  a  resident, 
and  shall  be  payable  in  advance  on  January  1,  and  shall 
become  delinquent  the  first  day  of  April,  of  each  year,  after 
which  date  it  shall  be  delinquent,  and  the  certificate  of  such 
architects  who  shall  fail  to  pay  their  license  fees  by  April  1 
of  each  year,  shall  be  subject  to  cancellation  by  said  district 
board,  and  notice  of  such  cancellation  shall  be  sent  to  each 
county  recorder  of  the  State  of  California  and  to  the  secre- 
tary of  state  as  provided  in  section  5  of  the  act  to  regulate 
the  practice  of  architecture,  approved  March  23,  1901,  for 
cancellation  of  certificates.     And  the  secretary  of  the  said 
district  shall   issue  a  receipt  signed  by  the   president  and 
secretary  of  the  district,  and  under  the  seal  of  the  district 
board,  to  each  architect  paying  said  license  fee,  showing  that 
said  certificated  architect  has  paid  his   annual   license  fee, 
which  license  receipt  shall  be  displayed  in  a  prominent  place 
in  the  office  of  said  architect.     The  fees  so  collected  shall  be 
used  to  meet  the  expenses  of  the  state  board  of  architecture.

The  American  Institute  of  Architects 


Professional  Practice  of  Architects 


Details  of  Service 
to  be  Rendered 


Schedule  of  Proper 
Minimum  Charges 


1.  The  Architect's  professional  services  consist  of 
the  necessary  conferences,  the  preparation  of  pre- 
liminary studies,  working  drawings,  specifications, 
large  scale  and  full  size  detail  drawings;  the  drafting 
of  forms  of  proposals  and  contracts;  the  issuance  of 
certificates  of  payment;  the  keeping  of  accounts,  the 
general  administration  of  the  business  and  super- 
vision of  the  work,  for  which,  except  as  hereinafter 
mentioned,   the   minimum   charge,  based   upon  the 
total  cost  of  the  work  complete,  is  six  per  cent. 

2.  On    residential    work,    alterations    to    existing 
buildings,    monuments,    furniture,    decorative    and 
cabinet  work  and  landscape  architecture,  it  is  proper 
to  make  a  higher  charge  than  above  indicated. 

3.  The  Architect  is  entitled  to  compensation  for 
articles  purchased  under  his  direction,  even  though 
not  designed  by  him. 

4.  Where  the  Architect  is  not  otherwise  retained, 
consultation  fees  for  professional  advice  are  to  be 
paid  in  proportion  to  the  importance  of  the  question 
involved  and  services  rendered. 

5.  The  Architect  is  to  be  reimbursed  the  costs 
of  transportation  and  living  incurred  by  him  and 
his  assistants  while  traveling  in  discharge  of  duties 
connected  with  the  work,  and  the  costs  of  the  services 
of  heating,   ventilating,   mechanical,   and   electrical 
engineers. 

6.  The  rate  of  percentage  arising  from  Articles  I 
and  2  hereof,  i.  e.,  the  basic  rate,  applies  when  all 
of  the  work  is  let  under  one  contract.     Should  the 
Owner   determine  to   have  'certain   portions  of  the 
work    executed    under    separate    contracts,    as    the 
Architect's  burden  of  service,  expense  and  responsi- 
bility is  thereby  increased,  the  rate  in  connection 
with  such  portions  of  the  work  is  greater  (usually 
by  four  per  cent)  than  the  basic  rate.     Should  the 
Owner  determine  to  have  substantially  the   entire 
work  executed  under  separate  contracts,  then  such 
higher  rate  applies  to  the  entire  work.    In  any  event, 
however,  the  basic  rate,  without  increase,  applies  to 
contracts  for  any  portions  of  the  work  on  which  the 
Owner  reimburses  the  engineer's  fees  to  the  Architect. 


7.  If,  after  a  definite  scheme  has  been  approved, 
the  Owner  makes  a  decision  which,  for  its  proper 
execution,  involves  extra  services  and  expense  for 
changes  in  or  additions  to  the  drawings,  specifica- 
tions or  other  documents;  or  if  a  contract  be  let 
by  cost  of  labor  and  materials  plus  a  percentage  or 
fixed   sum;  or  if  the  Architect   be  put  to  labor  or 
expense  by  delays  caused  by  the  Owner  or  a  con- 
tractor,   or    by   the    delinquency   or   insolvency   of 
either,  or  as  a  result  of  damage  by  fire,  he  is  to  be 
equitably  paid  for  such  extra  service  and  expense. 

8.  Should  the  execution  of  any  work  designed  or 
specified  by  the  Architect  or  any  part  of  such  work 
be  abandoned  or  suspended,  the  Architect  is  to  be 
paid   in   accordance  with   or  in   proportion  to  the 
terms  of  Article  9  of  this  Schedule  for  the  service 
rendered  on  account  of  it,  up  to  the  time  of  such 
abandonment  or  suspension. 

9.  Whether  the  work  be  executed  or  whether  its 
execution   be   suspended   or  abandoned   in   part  or 
whole,   payments  to  the  Architect  on   his   fee   are 
subject  to  the  provisions  of  Articles  7  and  8,  made 
as  follows: 

Upon  completion  of  the  preliminary  studies,  a 
sum  equal  to  twenty  per  cent  of  the  basic  rate  com- 
puted upon  a  reasonable  estimated  cost. 

Upon  completion  of  specifications  and  general 
working  drawings  (exclusive  of  details)  a  sum  suffi- 
cient to  increase  payments  on  the  fee  to  sixty  per  cent 
of  the  rate  or  rates  of  commission  agreed  upon,  as 
influenced  by  Article  6,  computed  upon  a  reasonable 
cost  estimated  on  such  completed  specifications  and 
drawings,  or  if  bids  have  been  received,  then  com- 
puted upon  the  lowest  bona  fide  bid  or  bids. 

From  time  to  time  during  the  execution  of  work 
and  in  proportion  to  the  amount  of  service  rendered 
by  the  Architect,  payments  are  made  until  the 
aggregate  °f  all  payments  made  on  account  of  the 
fee  under  this  Article  reaches  a  sum  equal  to  the 
rate  or  rates  of  commission  agreed  upon  as  influenced 
by  Article  6,  computed  upon  the  final  cost  of  the 
work. 


(OVER) 


Payments  to  the  Architect,  other  than  those  on 
his  fee,  fall  due  from  time  to  time  as  his  work  is 
done  or  as  costs  are  incurred. 

No  deduction  is  made  from  the  Architect's  fee  on 
account  of  penalty,  liquidated  damages  or  other 
sums  withheld  from  payments  to  contractors. 

10.  The  Owner  is  to  furnish  the  Architect  with  a 
complete  and  accurate  survey  of  the  building  site, 
giving  the  grades  and  lines  of  streets,  pavements 
and    adjoining    properties;  the    rights,    restrictions, 
easements,  boundaries  and  contours  of  the  building 
site,  and  full  information  as  to  sewer,  water,  gas  and 
electrical  service.  The  Owner  is  to  pay  for  borings  or 
test  pits  and  for  chemical,  mechanical  or  other  tests, 
when  required. 

11.  The  Architect  endeavors  to  guard  the  Owner 
against  defects  and  deficiencies  in  the  work  of  con- 
tractors, but  he  does  not  guarantee  the  performance 
of  their  contracts.    The  supervision  of  an  architect 


is  to  be  distinguished  from  the  continuous  personal 
superintendence  to  be  obtained  by  the  employment 
of  a  clerk  of  the  works. 

When  authorized  by  the  Owner,  a  clerk  of  the 
works,  acceptable  to  both  Owner  and  Architect,  is 
to  be  engaged  by  the  Architect  at  a  salary  satis- 
factory to  the  Owner  and  paid  by  the  Owner,  upon 
presentation  of  the  Architect's  monthly  certificates. 

12.  When  requested  to  do  so,  the  Architect  makes 
or  procures  preliminary  estimates  on  the  cost  of  the 
work  and  he  endeavors  to  keep  the  actual  cost  of  the 
work  as  low  as  may  be  consistent  with  the  purpose 
of  the  building  and  with  proper  workmanship  and 
material,  but  no  such  estimate  can  be  regarded  as 
other  than  an  approximation. 

13.  Drawings  and  specifications,  as  instruments 
of  service,  are  the  property  of  the  Architect,  whether 
the  work  for  which  they  are  made  be  executed  or  not. 


The  words  "the  cost  of  the  work,"  as  used  in  Articles  i  and  9  hereof,  are  ordinarily  to  be  interpreted  as  meaning  the  total  of  the  contract  sums  incurred 
for  the  execution  of  the  work,  not  including  Architect's  and  Engineer's  fees  or  the  salary  of  the  clerk  of  the  works,  but  in  certain  rare  cases,  e.  g.,  when  labor 
or  material  is  furnished  by  the  Owner  below  its  market  cost  or  when  old  materials  are  re-used,  the  cost  of  the  work  is  to  be  interpreted  as  the  cost  of  all 
materials  and  labor  necessary  to  complete  the  work,  as  such  cost  would  have  been  if  all  materials  had  been  new  and  if  all  labor  had  been  fully  paid  at  market 
prices  current  when  the  work  was  ordered,  plus  contractor's  profits  and  expenses. 


As  adopted  at  the  Washington  Convention,  December  15-17,  1908,  and  revised  in  form  at  the  Minneapolis 
Convention,  December  6-8,  1916.
